Shawne Williams (illness) will play Tuesday vs. the Raptors.

Williams will may be able to see his minutes in the teens tonight with Greg Monroe (knee) sidelined, but with averages of just 2.1 points and 1.1 rebounds per game with the Pistons, he can't be viewed as a viable option in most leagues. Mar 24 - 6:12 PM

Shawne Williams (illness) has been ruled out for Sunday's game vs. the Celtics.

With both Greg Monroe (knee) and Williams sidelined, Anthony Tolliver is going to get all the run he can handle. However, Tolliver will look to bounce back from Saturday's disappointing outing in which he scored just four points through 22 minutes of action without connecting on a single 3-pointer. He has a more favorable matchup today, but he remains a risky option in daily leagues. Mar 22 - 4:44 PM

Shawne Williams (illness) missed shootaround on Saturday and is up in the air for tonight's game against the Bulls.

He was in the rotation now that Greg Monroe is out, but only played 12.0 minutes per game in his last two. If he's out, Anthony Tolliver will play a little more while Joel Anthony could get up to 20 minutes. Mar 21 - 6:09 PM

Brandon Jennings (Achilles) will be cleared to begin weight training on Friday.

This is a small step in what will be a long recovery for Jennings. Hopefully he's ready to go by next year's training camp, and we'll continue to track his progress closely. If Detroit is able to retain Reggie Jackson this offseason, it'll be interesting to see if he and Jennings can play together.

Greg Monroe (knee) hopes to return for the Pistons' "last five games," according to Stan Van Gundy.

Monroe is slowly ramping up his activity and could return as soon as this weekend, according to SVG, though a return for the final five games would have him in uniform on Wednesday, Apr. 8. Anyone struggling to win this week should look for safer options, but this at least gives some hope to owners holding Monroe until the bitter end.
